From the point of view of resistance to fatigue, fillet welds are inferior to butt welds. This is because there exists both an abrupt change in the direction of the […]
EK425
In structures or members subjected to fatigue butt welds are not permitted.
EK424
As far as the distribution of stresses in welds are concerned, fillet welds are inferior to butt welds. The stress path through a side weld in a lap joint is […]
EK423
Butt welds may be classed as complete penetration or incomplete penetration.
EK422
The disadvantage of butt welds is that they require plate edge preparation.
EK421
The principal advantages of butt welds are the simplicity of the joint and the minimal change of the stress path. Static tension test results indicate that their average tensile strength […]
EK383
Relative deformation capacities of the elements in the load path: Plates in bending. Relatively large elastic deformation. Large deformation capacity when plastic hinges form. Plates in tension and plates in […]
